Does someone know if there are good "How-To" instructions online in setting up a Peer to Peer File Sharing in Windows 7?

How is that diff than HomeGroup. Could HG solve my question
It's different because it specifically doesn't use HG.
Perhaps using a HG would address your needs - but I avoid HomeGroup like the plague. It introduces things that I'd rather not have to deal with as I don't find them necessary in the broader context of networking and have found them disruptive. I'm sure it has features that some may find appealing but I rather hate to "fix" a network because it HG was introduced.
